Whitest Girl

Here she is, as voted by the Internets.

Ironically from the Rebecca Black classic and timeless hit, "Friday".  If you've never heard it, spare yourself the pain and never do so.

Big Sis

Say hi to our big Sister, the Sun. And it is our Sister (or Brother if you like) and not our parent, as the Sun and the planets all formed from the same ginormous cloud of gas. The Sun took up most of that cloud, but every single planet, moon, comet and asteroid came from the same cloud. Even you, roundaboutly.

Like all "things" - stars and planets and you included - the Sun is the result of a series of reactions held in balance. In the case of a star, this balance is composed of the inward pressure of gravity, and the outward pressure of fusion. As such, the heart of a star is quite small compared to its overall size, thanks to this simple process:

Fusion. Just a couple of atoms bouncing off one another with enough energy (because of the inward pressure of gravity) and kabloom! Fusion, the heart of a star, and thus the heart of all life. Fusion releases enormous amounts of energy, and that energy is the star, and all its light, in all frequencies.

These frequencies are the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves to microwaves to visible light - what we see - to ultraviolet, x-rays, and finally gamma rays. All seen here. Each frequency reveals different information, and thus astronomers use a variety of detection methods to learn not only about the sun, but everything.

We exist in a living miracle. It's pretty cool.

A new toga

The pantsuit is the new power suit, or toga, or whatever form of clothing denotes LEADER. And it comes in way more colors than purple. Behold!

All the colors of the rainbow!

When Hillary is elected in 2016 and America - Ruler of the World - has a woman leader, coupled with the wise and steady leadership of Germany under Chancellor Merkel, then the world will be ready. Ready at last. The Matriarchy is Nigh!

Rush the gates

Those crazy gals of Femen stormed a European trade show, freaking out most, except for...

Vlad. He's down with Femen - putting them in gulags, that is.

Courage of your convictions

Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, of Pussy Riot, who is not only still in jail, but hasn't been heard from in some time - here's a link. Arrested for the brazen expression of free speech, and fighting for her rights. When one person fights for their rights, they fight for us all. But there are often consequences - like getting sent to a Siberian gulag. Would you dare stand up for your rights in the face of such risks? Do you dare express yourself boldly in the face of power?

Femen does. Click below for proof.

Sex is protest

Sex - the having and the withholding - is the power that spins this world, ultimately. All other trends or impulses can be traced back to slightly NSFW

Quoting Goethe

Beautiful protestor with powerful placard? What's not to love. Protesting power is hot in general.

Art is pretty, always (in its specific way), but subverting myth is especially pretty in my book. In which is written: Once women take over society, the world can truly progress.

The Moment has come

Indeed, the time is nigh.

Rise up my Sisters! The world is yours for the taking.
